Separated twins? Reunited via YouTube, they raise funds to meet

In 2013, if you think you’ve got a long-lost twin, there’s one way to find out: Connect on Facebook, Skype each other, and raise money on Kickstarter to meet up and get a DNA test.

According to their Kickstarter page, Samantha Futerman and Anaïs Bordier have already hit their Kickstarter goal of $30,000, so you can expect a documentary about their unique reunion. Their story is like a flipped Catfish: The internet made a perfect match.

Futerman and Bordier say they were both born in South Korea on Nov. 19, 1987, and adopted. Futerman grew up in New Jersey and eventually moved to Los Angeles to act, while Bordier studied fashion in London after growing up in Paris. One day, Bordier’s friend posted a screenshot on Facebook showing Futerman in this YouTube video. After some online sleuthing and an appearance by Futerman in the “21 and Over” trailer, Bordier tracked down her apparent twin and sent her a message:

The two connected, chatted online and discovered similarities, including their shared lactose intolerance and “apparent napoleon complex.” Now they plan to reunite and get a DNA test to confirm the match. The meetup will be filmed and:

“The film will touch upon nature vs. nurture, adoption, sisterhood, & the power of social media. Our goal is to reveal every step of their journey, in order to exhibit an experience never documented before.”
